Zombies, Run! A Fitness App and Zombie Game

Zombies, Run! is a combination fitness app and zombie game for mobile devices. When a player goes for a run, they also take part in a mission in a post zombie apocalypse world. The players collect much needed supplies for earth’s survivors while listening to the game’s plot unfold on their headphones. Zombies, Run! is currently under development for iPhone and Android by UK game company Six to Start and writer Naomi Alderman. They are raising funds for the game on Kickstarter.

Zombies, Run! is an ultra-immersive game for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android where you help rebuild civilisation after a zombie apocalypse. By going out and running in the real world, you can collect medicine, ammo, batteries, and spare parts that you can use to build up and expand your base – all while getting orders, clues, and story through your headphones.
